Yup. Looks like Fe def but you gotta get a pic that is not under your HID light because your camera is pissed. Look at the lines! lol
What soil did you repot into, and what have you been feeding it?
Did it have the problem before you put it in the new pot?
How big was the old pot, and what type of soil did it have?

I know it's not on-subject, but do you know what causes the lines to appear with HID lighting? I've seen that phenomenon multiple times while browsing through this forum and never knew what it was.

Hi

It looks like a Fe deficiency to me too. Check the pH level of your water, if itâ??s 7 or over add some pH down (phosphoric acid) to your water until your pH is about 6.0 to 6.5. Once youâ??ve done that, flush your plants through with the pH adjusted water & your plant should recover. After a week or so your plant will recover & the leaves will be back to a nice even green.

Ensure that you pH adjust your water when ever you water & all should be peachy!

Happy growing!

Wouldn't Molasses correct the Iron def? Would correcting the Ph correct the Fe def? :stoned:

Hey chief, I think this is primarily a problem when taking pictures too close to the older magnetic style ballasts, which emits a magnetic field. I've seen some posters post growroom pics and this was obviously an issue, then they posted other pics away from the growroom and the problem disappeared. I may be wrong, but that's my take on it.

Oh I see. High pH can lock out nuts. :thumbsup:

sounds plausible. i get no issues from my digital ballast or hps bulb, besides the fact that the plant looks orange in all pictures under hps :hippy:
